Rotel RA-1570


Two years ago a DAC featuring an asynchronous USB input was news.
Today, a DAC without async USB is news and as far as I am concerned, a showstopper.

In the amplifier world, async USB input is still rare.
Rotel is one of the exceptions to this rule.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple of years a USB input is as common as a RCA.
